Kearney

Like a breath of fresh air and the wind at my back
Toe to heel with strong strides taking miles off the map
In this journey called life where I’ve walked so far
Under the heat of your sun and the shine of your stars
Step by step I’ve crept, I’ve crawled, and I’ve run
Felt the palm of your hand and the barrel of death’s gun
I ran for my life stood strong through strife
From a miscarried life to waiting for my wife like
I heard it sung a thousand strong all night long
Heard heaven’s bell going something long, it’s like
I’ve been there in total despair
Now I’ve tasted and I’ve touched
A breath of fresh air …

thank you for your kind comment brother. apologies for the mix-up. it is actually a song written and performed by Mat Kearney (link before the lyrics). did not write his name anymore because i thought the link on top is enough (or is the link visible?).

the basic instrumentation is acoustic guitar. i love the melody, lyrics and the speed is just right. though part of the song is rapped, hope it’s still to your liking.

Your poem evokes such depth of feeling. Perhaps it is the way of the written word that one reads it through the eyes of their own story….you took me on a journey and at the end, I could breathe the fresh air…for the first time. Thank you my eloquent friend…this is stunning! Hugs ~ :)

thank you, christina! but just to clarify, the words are not mine. it is actually a song by Mat Kearney (link is there at the start and here also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-48Kf-3S_M&feature=player_embedded#!). my mistake. thought the link on top is enough. i’m not into rap but, even with some parts rapped this is a wonderful exception Hugs :)

I didn’t realize it was a link…my bad :P But…the lyrics are still amazing! And I stand by what I said before…only this time will thank you very mcuh for sharing it…I really really liked the song! Hugs :)

LOVE it! Totally gonna add it to my glossry!Amazinger…perfection Neil! ;) Actually my neighbors are quite used to me bringing down the house with my music haha :P Surround sound is the bestest invention EVER!

Oh and for what it’s worth, I absolutely love love love Kings of Leon, Johh Mayer, and at the top of the list Dave Matthews(especially the ‘Crash’ ‘cd) !! ;) Hugs! ~

the more you listen to it, the more you like it. that’s the effect it had on me. i like dave matthews too. great vocals. personally, my only misgiving about his music is that, after listening to him for some time, his songs start to sound the same. i might fall asleep watching his concert. hehe :p
